Dear Querist

you can file a child custody case against him before district court where the child is residing under section 25 of GWA read with section 12 of GWA for interim relief for visitation right.

if he remarried then child custody can not came to you automatically.

feel free to call

You sure can file for child custody but ultimately it is the child in whose favour the court will decide. So if the child decides to stay with father, it will be in father's favour.

welfare of child is paramount consideration . you can file for child custody if you so desire . mere remarriage does not dis entitle father from retaining child custody of son . it cannot come to you automatically

what does your MOU in mutual divorce petition says about the custody of child.if it specifically says that the custody of the boy will be with father as you do not have any means to take care of child and now since you have the job and you feel that now you can provide better care to the boy then the father then you can file custody of child

You may file a case for child custody if regard being had to the financial position of you and your ex-husband, you are better placed, or there is a level of parity. His remarriage does not disqualify him to retain the custody already granted to him. There is no legal right which accrues "automatically'', it is required to be proved.

you will never loose your visitation rights for your child . no court in India will ever deny mother visitation rights . your ex husband is just misguiding you

What he has told you is untrue. Visiting rights can never be denied to a parent. Neither your nor his remarriage will disqualify either of you from claiming custody/visitation rights. You may remarry any moment without worrying about denial of visitation rights.
